becoming brown on tin- outer angle of the frout edge of the wing and paler toward 
the hinder and inner angle. The uuder surface of the wiugs is much paler than the 
upper. The body is dark brown; its hinder portion banded with lines of a paler 
hue. Expanse of wingH, 1J inches. (Saunders.) 
'j:W. Tiriiiocampa incerta Hufn. (Orthosia itutaHUi Fitch)- 
Professor Riley has found, feeding on the oak, small whitish larvae, 
with a .yellow-brown head and a row of red spots on each side of the 
body. One folded a leaf within which it spun a loose, white silken 
web, open at both ends. It transformed within this, but deserted it 
and entered the ground August 14. It also feeds on the hickory and 
sassafras. (Unpublished notes.) 
233. Jodia rufago Hiibu. 
Professor Riley states that this is one of the early Noctuids, speci- 
mens of which were collected on sugar at Washington April 15, 1884, 
and commenced to deposit their eggs the following day. The eggs are 
yellowish-white, globular, and finely ribbed. They hatch in about seven 
days, and the young larvae commence to feed at once on the leaves of 
cherry and oak. They are yellowish- white, with a pale yellow head and 
black piliferous warts. They molt at intervals of three to four days, 
the last stage lasting about ten days, when, by the end of May, all 
enter the ground for transformation, apparently not appearing as moths 
before the following spring. (Unpublished notes.) 
234. Panopoda carneicesta Guen. 
Larvae of this species were found August 25, 1884, in Virginia, feed- 
ing on the oak, and a moth issued September 23. The same species 
was also found at Atlanta, Ga. 
Larva. — The full-grown larva is about 42 mm in length, rather slender, of a dark 
green color, with orange-yellow subdorsal line, and an oblique, fine, yellow line each 
side of each segment. (Riley's unpublished notes.) 
Moth. — Wings rounded, entire ; of a violet-ash color, with the outer margin washed 
with brown, and an indistinct submargiual series of white points, shaded with black- 
ish or reddish. Fore wings with three distinct brown lines; the extrabasilar straight; 
the extradiscal sinuous, curved, and the median diffuse line straight, passing beyond 
the reuiform dot, which is black, very distinct, L-shaped, the lower branch of which 
is prolonged to a point under the orbicular, which is reduced to a black dot. Hind 
wings with a scarcely visible extradiscal line. Wings beneath gray, powdered with 
reddish, not spotted or banded. Prothorax reddish brown. Expanse of wings 46 mm .

235. Panopoda rufimargo Hiibn. 
This moth has been bred from the oak by Mr. R. Thaxter (Psyche ii, 35). 
Moth. — Wings gray powdered with dark brown; the fore wings with two median 
lines very rambling (ccartees), almost parallel, very wavy, but not toothed, fine and 
continuous, rust-red, lined with a yellow thread. Thehind wings with a single sim- 
ilar line, starting from the anal angle, but disappearing two-thirds across the wings. 
Fore wings with the costa rust-red and the orbicular spot reduced to a dot, the ren- 
iform being larger and tear-like. Expanse of wings 45 mm .
